Looks like D-Lo just resigned with the Lakers. It’s not a massive contract so I guess they just wanted to make sure to have a legitimate point guard for the rest of LeBron’s time in LA. I sort of figured he would be part of a sign and trade given how poorly he did in the playoffs this year, but it means we probably won’t be seeing Dame in LA.

I voted for sideways. I think we’re going to see a month of accumulation before making the next move upward. When we do make the move upward though I am expecting a jump to nearly $40K in a very short time period. I just don’t think it’ll happen so soon, but it is still the beginning of the month so maybe it happens near the end…

I just read the news that Damian Lillard has officially requested a trade from the Portland Trailblazers. Poor Dame… He should have done this two years ago and then he could’ve helped LeBron win another ring. Now it looks like he’s going to go to Miami and I personally don’t think Miami is as good as they appeared last post season.

I was glad to see Kuzma get paid finally with a big contract and Rui resigning with the Lakers on a team friendly deal. Some of these other contracts I’m seeing get handed out are a little wild though. It seems like you only have to be a decent player nowadays to get 30 million dollars per year and if you’re close to an all star you’ll get 40 million a year. I guess it won’t be long before players are making 100 million per year…

I was surprised to see ESPN reporting that Draymond Green signed a 4 year 100 million dollar deal to stay with the Warriors. I can’t imagine that he’ll still be starting for them in four years given his drop off over the last two seasons but I guess he’s earned that money for helping them get the rings they have. Next year with CP3 will be interesting.

It was interesting to me the Fidelity filed their ETF and then the SEC made a statement about ETF filings being incomplete and then Fidelity immediately updated their filing to show that Coinbase would be the custodian of their Bitcoin. This shows me that the SEC is in close talks with these banks and an ETF approval is right on the horizon.

This was my first thought when seeing this thread as well. Imagine saying something like “United States Dollars are the best career for women.” What does that even mean? I get it though, he’s probably talking about women getting into programming and building use cases for Bitcoin and more likely crypto as a whole due to a much more friendly development atmosphere.

This situation is indeed concerning. I think any online casino is likely to run into these sort of issues and it’s why people should never keep more money than is needed on any service. It’s an extremely unfortunate situation but if everything is legit as you say, I’m sure you will eventually get your money. Jumping through hoops sucks, but I don’t think Stake needs your $6K.

War isn’t so easy to define anymore. I personally believe we are at war though. The flood of drugs killing Americans, the rise of mental illness, our food supply chain being destroyed, outright lies being told by our government. All of this doesn’t happen without major outside influence. I think you’d have to be not paying attention to not see that America is under attack.

Slow and steady always wins the race. No matter how many times I try to get friends to take a stack sats approach it always fails. Everyone wants to pile all their money in when Bitcoin is all over the news, which unfortunately is the worst possible time to do so. Then they lose money and hate crypto for 4 years. Then another bubble and repeat…

I’m a little surprised that stocks are seeing such a huge rise today on the news that the government is going to make people who borrowed money pay it back, but Bitcoin hasn’t really followed suit. Possibly because of the big move above $31K we saw recently, but it’s starting to feel like the market is showing the first signs of exhaustion.

^ That’s a big blow to the Nuggets. He anchored their bench and in a position where they struggle. I think if Denver really wants to repeat and get themselves in the dynasty conversation for real, they’re going to need to pick up a good shooting guard. Beal would’ve been the best prospect but he’s gone to Phoenix. Maybe they can try to get Anthony Edwards or something.

Harden opted into his player option for this year. Obviously he had too as he won’t get anywhere near that salary otherwise. They’re going to try and work a sign and trade to find him a long term home but honestly any team that bites is shooting themselves in the foot.

As for Kyrie… He’s trying to get to the Suns now. As good as he is, I think the Suns are better off without him. Although I think Ayton would be better off in Dallas.

Another day another large company showing their intent to create a Bitcoin ETF. the effect this is going to have on the Bitcoin market will in my opinion follow gold’s footsteps. Gold went up from around $275 per ounce to $1800 per ounce in the 8 years following its ETF’s launch. When you factor in BTC’s halvings and scarcity, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to make the statement that BTC will hit $800,000 in 2033.

(1800/275)*4*30,555.56=800K

(Get gold’s increase)*account for halvings*insert BTC price=BTC price 8 years after ETFs go live.

Now Fidelity has filed for an ETF. This is definitely not par for the course over the years. It feels to me like the government informed large fund managers that the flood gates were about to open and Bitcoin ETFs would all be approved. That’s the only thing that makes sense given the sudden number of major players filing for these funds.

Seems like the price is stagnating a bit. Looks to me like a big player came out and said they wanted to scoop up all the BTC they can at $30K, so that’s what has been happening. I’m not sure what profit expectations it takes for Wall Street to pour energy into developing a new asset class, but I have a feeling we’re going to find out over the next decade.

Interesting reports today saying that despite attempts there is apparently no market for James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Kyrie is seemingly still worthy of his contract, but only if he actually plays, which he spends more time destroying his own team in the locker room than other teams on the court. Harden I assume is just making too much money for the drop off he’s seeing at his age. Still, interesting.

Microstrategy has been impressive with the amount of BTC they’ve been able to acquire. They will no doubt be one of the richest companies in the world if Bitcoin does continue its meteoric rise. There are a lot of advantages to owning Microstrategy over an ETF, and I only with I would have grabbed some when it was at the lows. The future could be quite bright for them.

Man, that’s sucks to hear. This is the sort of solution I’d love to see become a reality. It would really be great if there was a way I could mine in up to 115 degree heat using some sort of device. That way I would feel comfortable leaving it outside in the desert to take advantage of our sweet sweet cheap nuclear energy.

So many awesome videos coming out showing this vehicle now that it’s being produced by the factory. Here’s a clip showing the inside of the vehicle. It’s probably the best one yet that I’ve seen showing the transparent roof. Reminds me of the vehicles they used in Jurassic Park. No T-Rex is gonna catch this beast though.
